Luxury car enthusiasts are increasingly more interested in SUVs, which have now become the norm among many high-end car brands. Among the many new SUVs available, the Maserati Grecale GT stands out for its unique design, which offers a fresh take on the usual Italian Marque cars. The Maserati Grecale represents a fresh concept of luxury that combines tradition, innovation and a practical vision. Each element serves a purpose, and every feature expresses a feeling, even the tiniest knob.

Different models
The Maserati Grecale offers three unique variations: the Grecale GT, featuring a four-cylinder mild hybrid engine that can produce 300 horsepower, the Modena with a four-cylinder 330-hp mild hybrid engine, and the powerful Trofeo, equipped with a high-performance 530-hp petrol V6 engine that’s based on the MC20 Nettuno engine. According to Bill Peffer, the CEO of Maserati in North America, the luxury car market has shifted towards SUVs, and Maserati has been successful in this area since 2017. However, they only have one SUV model, which puts them at a disadvantage compared to their competitors who offer multiple SUVs. The Grecale model aims to change this by establishing Maserati as a top choice for performance luxury SUVs. The potential competitors for the Grecale include the Porsche Macan and the BMW X3. Priced at $279,000, the Grecale GT surpasses its competitors in terms of handling, comfort, and interior ambience.

Specifics
Let’s take a closer look at the Maserati Grecale GT. Its V6 engine, which is powered by a Formula One track, can rev up to 100 kmph in just 5.6 seconds. Additionally, the GT has a mild hybrid electric-vehicle engine with a Belt-Driven Starter Generator. Overall, it has a peak torque of 450 Nm at 2,000 rpm. The Grecale’s interior has been meticulously designed by Maserati, with a focus on contemporary luxury. The materials and finishes exude elegance, from the exquisite stitching on the dashboard to the Saffiano leather-inspired insert. The central console and door panel are adorned with burnished inserts, completing the sleek look.

When it comes to the interior of the vehicle, there are some impressive features to mention. For instance, there’s a 14-speaker Sonus faber sound system, which you can upgrade to the 21-speaker, 1,000-watt option from the Italian audio specialist. Additionally, there’s the Maserati Intelligent Assistant (MIA) infotainment system, which features a 12.3-inch display – the largest one offered by the brand to date – and an 8.8-inch control screen. The MIA platform has voice-command capability similar to its German counterpart, “Hey, Mercedes.”

The cabin of this car is illuminated by soft, diffused lighting that creates a cosy living room atmosphere. This is a unique feature for a car and adds to the spacious and sporty appearance of the five-seater. The car is perfect for urban driving due to its minimalist design, which is both restrained and sophisticated under the hood. Drivers and passengers can enjoy a comfortable and roomy ride.
